Famous ‘All My Children’ and ‘One Life to Live’ Alumni

Many hearts were broken – including ours – when ABC announced the cancellation of two of their long-running soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live. Though soaps get a reputation for being full of evil twins and demonic possessions (which, sometimes, they kinda are), soaps are also a breeding ground for young talent. In his episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio, Harrison Ford said that he admired soap actors because they have to memorize lots of dialogue in incredibly short amounts of time. Before we say goodbye to these two iconic shows (All My Children will conclude in September; One Life in January 2012), let’s take a look at some of the stars who got their stars in Pine Valley and Llanview.
